“Excellent Loreth, I’m glad to hear that the new expansion program for our sports facilities has been completed early an under budget, I hope the leftover funs will be put towards something good for our peoples health.” Denteth returned, positively beaming at the good news, the rest of the gathered ministers smiled in addition, in few places except here was it frequent for government projects to be finished early under budget and to actually not begin falling down 5 minutes after construction.
“Ah, a more shall we say unpleasant item on today’s Agenda” continued Denteth, Pausing for a moment before continuing, “The Heightened Mobilisation, as you know last year I ordered a stand down of some of our forces, in what appeared to be the beginning of peaceful times, however I must be honest, that time has not came, and instead we find ourselves having to remobilise again, something that had been anticipated I must admit that measures for this have already began, Minister Beckett will you please brief us on the Industrial aspect to this,” raising a hand towards the auburn haired Economy Minister a slight downturn of his smile at the possible implications of the matter, war was never a pleasant business.
“Well, we’ve set in motion a mass streamlining of our production facilities, what the Technopolis Foundries could have Produced 5 years ago in a year can now potentially be produced by one assembly line in as many days, production of all designs has skyrocketed and our research teams are nearing the end of their current projects, I have directed new research into promising new areas but at the moment our level of technology appears to have reached a plateau at the moment, for the immediate future, this does not mean there is of course nothing to research, just nothing for the short term.” Called out Beckett, it was at times easy for him to forget that not everyone present was comfortable with economic terms, yet he remembered to omit any to technical terminology, it wouldn’t do to waste time picking over vocabulary when valuable time was being spent on discussing what really mattered, running a government, not the trappings of power others got so attached to.
“Ah yes I remember seeing one of those research reports Minister Beckett, and I want to make sure that we’re getting the best deal here, What I want to know is are you scaling up production of the Tokon when the reports in front of us indicate in less than a week testing of the Tokon 2 will be complete, not to mention preliminary testing from the office of my esteemed colleague Minister Izalian recommend immediate mass production. I am concerned for the ramifications on the treasury, while never an issue before, is it not perhaps wasteful to step up production on a design that is due to be phased out.” Settling back into his seat the Treasury Minister Meiknen Holeth lain his head upon steepled fingers, eyeing around the room, although he and Beckett frequently co-operated due to the nature of their respective offices, the two often disagreed on overall direction, then again it was only natural, different people different visions, same purpose, in service of the people.
“an excellent point Minister Meiknen, and I must admit it was something that gave me pause when reviewing my production strategies, and I will elaborate on them now, please observe the current data feed,” reaching forward with a well muscled hand to grace the console in front of him, causing the aforementioned information to be disseminated to the rest of the rooms occupants terminals, “Now as you can see, Tokon production has actually been declining, marked in purple, while other designs particularly the Vrazen in Red have been dramatically increasing, this eventuality is one I have prepared for, the current Production run of Tokons will be completed, and we’ve been moving production away from foundries who finished previous runs and began outfitting those lines for the Tokon 2, however just because the Tokon 2 is imminent it does not mean they will be phased out, there have been over 7 Trillion life time production run of Tokon’s, no other design in the world has ever produced that many, and I suspect that we will eventually get through our 98 Billion Tokons in cold storage, and many of you languile this over production, it was in fact more economical to keep producing them then to stop.”
“So what your saying Minister Beckett, and according to this information, that the Tokon.” The speaker paused for a moment to emphasise this next momentous word, “One, will no longer be produced as of the 27th of August this year, and that our current somewhat incredible surplus will suffice our needs, in my opinion until the years are recorded in 6 figures over 4 in the rest of the world and 5 here, and the Tokon 2 will be gradually phased in, is Minister Izalian pleased by this development,” finished Minister Keltza of the Environment Ministry, tapping at his terminal idly with his left hand while his right lain flat on the circular desk they all shared.
“I can assure the Environment Minister that this is the case, it’s a common practice that’s been done for quite a while now, as after al, it is only wise to stop production of a current military design unless sufficient numbers of it’s replacement are available and production running at full steam, or if there is an unusually high level of surplus of the current design, while I must admit, I would have preferred it if the last Hitelvian hadn’t called for the scrapping of the Tokon 2 Project we might have seen this new design in service far faster, but alas it is better that an objective outside view is taken then we stagnate into simple stronger better faster more expensive weapons, far be it for our people’s protectors to go out well equipped,” finished Izalian, her long lashes slowly rising again as she slowly blinked, each word carefully measured by this artful woman for masterful effect, determined and devious yet caring and kind she was a woman of seeming opposites, who beat the common held misconception in outside culture that men should run a military, yet few war machines ran as efficiently as this woman’s, for few would dare to disappoint this magnificent lady.
“Now apart from the obvious animosity held for the Hitelvian, we need to discuss the other implications of this mobilisation, now I know we don’t outsource, with the possible exceptions of certain alloys from Clandonia Prime, Questers and this one I can never pronounce correctly Whyatica, I think at least, there will be others I’m sure, but is there any worry of our mobilisation and ramping up of production been discovered by the outside world,” smoothly inserting himself back into the conversation, his hands palm down arms stretched slightly making a calming motion, before seating himself again.
Suprainister,” echoed this voice, “We can assure you that as usual none may lay eyes on our lands, however Minister Beckett cannot conceal this massive increase in production, and the reports at a glance tell a startling tale to the outside world, reports that fortunately seem unbelievable of a Seven Thousand Percent Increase in total production in less than 2 months, and that will set heads turning when it’s not even at our most productive of facilities, with Kaziktra still at less than 50% f it’s facilities fully online reporting a Thirty-Two Thousand percent rise, now these figures sound impossible, and that is their best defence, but for those who read in-between the lines it paints an even more informative picture, rest assured Minister Hugoro will be getting many a question sent to him, indeed, you yourself Supranister may receive a few messages, We advise caution on this matter, our Assets are not unlimited, and our Older methods report that Doomingsland is a potential cause for concern, if too much focus is placed on them and their embargoed economy, they may turn attention to who those increasing trade with them, are trading with, and that would bring much unwelcome attention, that not even our most potent of techniques could neutralise,”
“A Disturbing picture indeed, I think it prudent Suprainister, for you to announce our Mobilisation, the announcement will do much to throw many off track, looking for things that simply are not there, after all, the common saying amongst outsides, is “who can know the mind of a Novan,” and they are correct, many norms with other mobilisations simply are not present within our system, indeed the forces being called up need less than a month of training to be battle ready and interwoven into their places to leave no truly green unit, I must however press this point, the international community is highly jumpy as of late, and several treaty organisations previously seen is implacable pillars of stability have recently been dissolved or disintegrated as members interests have diverged,”
“Agreed Minister Hugoro, and on that note I call this meting barring any further points to a close, I trust you have ideas on an outline, lest we give too much away,” Denteth rose from his position at the rounder, his tunic moving slightly and almost imperceptibly as he padded out after a brief silence, Izalian and Hugoro swiftly followed suit, evidently eager to mention something to the suprainister, or to deal with some other issue.
Normally outside Politicians were not allowed within the borders of the nation, indeed, foreigners were not allowed in, in general, however as with all things the Novans were a constant mystery to everyone and had relaxed this one protocol, though flights in had been redirected after landing and taking off at outlier facilities, and even now minders stood nearby to make sure the rampant paparazzi did not wander off into the city that surrounded the Tower of Destiny and it’s vast Vruzanazan Square, replete with cryptic abstract statues, hemmed in by tall glimmering buildings shining like miniature suns, images flashing across their intricate surfaces as the people went about their business, the Suprainister ascended a platform specially assembled for this event, numerous Soldiers stood at sharp attention in their strangely intimidating garb replete with those contradictory helms, the Suprainister faced the world at the very feet of Destiny.

Suprainister Denteth Tolien Prior to adressing the Press on the recent mobilisation.
"People of the world, Assembled Press, Fellow Politicians, I announce this day, that Novacom has begun a comprehensive mobilisation for war, due to the present world situation, increasing destabilisation amongst other factors, I have had no choice but to announce this decisive step, I love Novacom, and I love our ways, when we have slept away in the past the world has suffered, yet in times when we were strong great events have changed in favourable ways for all, I value my people and I will not see them idly assaulted because of small fires not being stamped out elsewhere, Truth is never blind and Fate is never far, we all welcome what shall come, for we have decided to be prepared for any outcome, for only those who have fought may accept what happens.
Many of you may be wondering why such a black hole of intelligence and in some cases even the barest of knowledge lays down it’s intentions now, I say this, we have known the horrors of war more than many of you, the Valjsgaurd war is more legendary than ourselves, over 3 billion slaughtered and several continents, not all of them our own either shattered or so environmentally ruined that several nations chemical weapons research teams approach us daily with begging’s of even a soil sample. I will not allow that to happen again, and before any analysts think to pick apart this, think for a second, recent production reports are not wrong, observe.”
No sooner has his sentence finished than a slight chuckle filled the air, as Millions of Tokons landed, those bizarre chuckling metal birds which so often rained down death with a smile a cackle and a cruel aside, in large groups on the expanse around the square, and then more pile up upon them creating towers, yet this was not the only place this was happening, out in the middle of the seas around the world Tokons were found, flying together into great towers, which from space formed the Novan flag, this display of the sheer numbers of Tokons would prove at least some of the reports to be true.
“These are just a fraction of the Tokons we have in storage, no other military design has been mass produced in the Trillions, The Tokon has.” Denteth finished gently placing his right fist into his left hand, leaving the floor open for questions.
“Ah, a more shall we say unpleasant item on today’s Agenda” continued Denteth, Pausing for a moment before continuing, “The Heightened Mobilisation, as you know last year I ordered a stand down of some of our forces, in what appeared to be the beginning of peaceful times, however I must be honest, that time has not came, and instead we find ourselves having to remobilise again, something that had been anticipated I must admit that measures for this have already began, Minister Beckett will you please brief us on the Industrial aspect to this,” raising a hand towards the auburn haired Economy Minister a slight downturn of his smile at the possible implications of the matter, war was never a pleasant business.
